Well of Illusions!

Wednesday, December 10, 2008

i did manage to catch a few more hours of sleep in the end, thankfully. hope this kickstarts my glorious compaign to get myself back into the singapore time frame. anyway since i'm stuck at home with nothing much to do i guess i could blog a little about the trip despite the fact that NOBODY SEEMS TO BE COMING HERE ANYWAY!!?? come on, i just left it stagnant for less than two weeks!?

some lessons i learnt from the united states of america:

1. if you are fat, no problem!
seriously, the states is like a paradise for fat people. if i were to add a car tyre's worth of fat around my waist i'd still fit in perfectly i tell you. to give you an example, i actually managed to fit snugly into M-size shirts at two different places over there.

2. if you are american, you make small talk.
even up to the point when i was getting on the plane from san francisco back to singapore, i still had no idea how to reply whenever a complete stranger turned to me and went "How's it going?" really, it's a lot harder than you think.

3. in america, you watch advertisements.
how else can you explain the ho-hum 10-minute long string of commercials on almost every freaking channel i ended up falling asleep halfway through any show i watched!?

4. onions are spicy.
YES i didn't know that.

i think i need some time to rephrase the rest of it. you didn't think i'd only have this to say about the US did you?
